I'm using Scribus 1.4.6 on Linux Mint. I know it has a table tool, but I see from the discussion here that it's not considered good practice to use it. Seems like some people prefer to create tables in another application and import them as images.
Is there a way to alter the background colour, not just for text but right out to the edges of the text box, for alternating lines (or paragraphs) without splitting it up into separate text boxes? Or is that the right way to do it?
